Maybe I am writing a fic where Regulus and Sirius are vampires and they murdered their entire family and they're pathetic because they saw two friends at a party once and one was full of scars was exactly Sirius' type and the other had a dorky smile and was Regulus's type and they're fucked because they can't fall in love but they do. And they protect James and Remus without them knowing except they do know and they have silly crushes on the two mysterious brothers that look out for them.

so i started thinking about bea and ben's relationship arc in lolilo and how it happens almost fully in subtext because if their issues were ones that could be shared on camera they wouldn't be issues at all. and now i'm having a 'oh god vlogseries are so crazy cool!!!' moment thinking about the audience (us!) as an active participant in these characters lives, not only through transmedia and comments and stuff but as the act of being observed fundamentally changes characters' behaviour/choices. how an audience renders problems and plotlines both visible and invisible. how vlog-style LIWs aren't just telling the same story in a different medium, they're problematising the original story by making characters aware that they're inside of it. for fiction to be so heavily influenced by its audience in a way that the characters are aware of (if mostly subconsciously) is just like, very cool to me.

feeling nostalgic about when lll was airing and the episodes always dropped when i was sleeping so i'd leave my phone on loud and then watch it at like 3am and never go back to sleep.

and that one time i was on a train and 'Stay' dropped but I couldn't load it so I got off at a random station and was stuck in some weird town.

and that one time I was working alone in a shop and 'i don't know what to call this' was posted so I just closed the shop and pretending there was a flood lol

are these anything

[happilyeveradrianna]

Absolutely the nichest reference, but does “When Emma Falls in Love,” one of the vault tracks from Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) give the exact same energy as “An Ode” from Nothing Much to Do?

(the energy is queer longing)(thinly disguised as admiration)
